Summary: Lots of material but could be presented better
Review: I used this book in an electronic circuits class taught by the author. I great deal of information is covered, but not very well. There are not enough examples and the practical applications are not emphasized (could've been more SPICE explanations). The book is very theory heavy so it will go over well with profs, but there are a lot better books out there for those outside academia or those just wanting a second source with their own textbook. (Art of Electronics has the right presentation style but is getting way out of date).

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book is far better than the more commonly known Electronics textbooks, because it treats more modern items in depth, f.i. modulators, PLL's, SC-filters, OTA's and transmissionline effects in digital circuits. The big advantage is that complicated matters are presented as simple as possible. The only disadvantage are the text-based Spice examples. Use of PSpice Version 8.0 would be more up to date. For Digital electronics you usually take a specialized book, so this subject could be omitted.It is such a shame that this book is out of print now! Pierre Wielders, Professor of a university of professional education in The Netherlands (Hogeschool Zuyd).
